I bought it because I liked how it looks. It's ok to ride too, weighing only slightly more than Portugal. Needs a bit of tlc.
Love the brand name

I know Portugal is a small country, but it can't be that lightweight
I think they meant a portuguese person
Rad!
Americans will do anything to avoid using metric
Standard model Dutch bicycle?
Do you think it might be Dutch?
My bike when I lived in the Netherlands was somewhat more scary. It was a rattly old thing with poor brakes. Almost rode it into Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal once by accident.
Looks mad comfy. I like a coaster brake. Great bike for shopping and short trips
Yep, 100% For longer trips I have other bikes, but they're all single speed or fixed gear. I'm a simple man, so I'm into simple things and dislike mechanical complexity of derailleurs and such. To be honest I'm not sure that even freewheel is such a great invention... ;P
Spoken like a person who lives somewhere flat.
Well not completely flat, we have some decent hills, but granted they're not mountains.
a flea sold this bike to you?
No I'm pretty sure it was a person (without fleas). Or a flea with a really good human costume.
Flea market is something akin to a second hand store / goodwill / yard sale in europe.
thats my old bike, a bunch of fleas grabbed it and flew away
shouldve taken out a vial to blood to test for fleas in human costumes dam it
no wonder the fleas were selling that, there's no way something that small could ride a bike.
Hell yeah
An ebike conversion kit and i’d be all
It's practically perfect as it is! No need to ruin it with batteries!
This like it's in incredibly good condition and will keep rolling for years to come
I wouldn't dream of ruining this beautiful thing that will likely last decades or better part of a century with fragile (and ugly) tech that will be obsolete or broken in a few years.
I'm still trying to figure out it the parent comment was sarcastic...
